Store vp2ThirdsGridCameraOverlay.mll from the plug-ins folder to a folder that has a path that recognizes Maya's plug-ins.
Example:
Documents/maya/2023/plug-ins/
1, Load “vp2ThirdsGridCameraOverlay.mll” in the Plug-in Manager.
2, Change the renderer to “VP2 Thirds Grid Camera Overlay” for the viewport to which you want to apply the ThirdsGridHUD.

Note
It says v1.0.0 but the version is 0.1.2a when I loaded the plugin. Sorry.

Known Issues
Note
FilmFitOffset I'm not able to deal with the inch offset of the center coordinates of the trisection line due to this parameter. I'll deal with it when I figure out how to get the DPI of Maya's viewport to vary according to the user's settings.
Note
lensSqueezeRatio The ratio of the gate mask area by this parameter is not supported. As usual, it is out of alignment.
Warning
ResolutionGate Depending on the user's pixel scaling setting, the three-way split lines may shift slightly in the Fill and Overscan Film Fit settings.
